Don't overestimate our defense based on their performance against the Bears. I'll agree they're the saving grace for our team this year, but Bledsoe is hot and not nearly as immobile as everyone has said, Jones is a good running back (though I do believe we will stuff their running game), and Witten, Crayton, Johnson and Glenn will prove to be too much to handle. Plus, as good as our D is, we have trouble pressuring the QB without a blitz. Trust me, Bledsoe has seen every blitz package imaginable, and he will adjust to it perfectly.
None of this even accounts for the fact that Parcells has always had Gibbs' number, and the Cowboys have always had the Redskins' number -- no matter how good Washington is or how bad Dallas is.
I hope I'm wrong, but they're going to clobber the Redskins Monday night.

I also hope you're wrong
Our D only has to make one Blitz work and Bledsoe will be done. Their back-up is Romo, who I expect to see him early in the 3rd.
As we're in our second season of the same scheme of D so I look for an increase, not a plateau or decrease. Taylor isn't a rookie anymore, our corners, far from being worse for the loss of Bailey and Smoot seem to have gotten better. Our D line are overachievers of the highest calibre and I hope soon that people start treating them like stars. The LB corps.....Ooooooh, Lordy!
As for them having our number, I see it like the passing of the Ice Age (although I'm not actually old enough to talk from experience) in that we are due our turn of dominance. I think that the team is entering its warming phase, soon to be tropical.
Let's all enjoy the balmy days ahead.
